Feel the honesty in my spit becuz the lyrics areee -
genuine, but just as legit as my characterrrr
The hood be knowing, no emotion showing
Wisdom flowing, wearing camouflage clothing
I can't discipline the realness, its just too supreme
No cream, the apartment looks kept by feens
Poor gettin' poorer, cob webs in the corners
No car, can't afford a learners
Shit is upsetting but how we gon stop things
Broke shower, mattresses without box springs
A scrub, sittin' in a tub, wit bugs
While fake thugs, doin drugs, is livin' snug
In - a - snuggie, sippin' on bubbly
Aren't you niggas livin' just so lovely?
Don't get mad black, it's a fact
Take your falsehoods to the back, chillin' in a Cadillac
Thinkin' they got hood love cuz they was out and about
Walkin' a route, in the projects when they was really over a friends house!
These rappers suck, trust, please put they records on mute
Tryin' to be cute in suits, baggy jeans and untied boots
You verbal geeks!, hear my voice and morals speak
Rockin' unformal beats, sleeping on floral sheets
Busted dreams sad stories, wit no motivation to lift cha
Do you see? Or do I gotta have Pappy paint the picture
My life ain't ideal, even though I get a cooked meal
Sometimes I'd rather grip steel, cuz of how I feel
So I try and put it to ink and I ain't no shrink
But let this sink, you are what you think
So though I'm neglected, I sense I'm respected
Only the lames, fakes, frauds, and family have objected
Lack of careful thought brings ya mind to destruction
Got me in this mental disorder now I can't function
The wallflower on this here, brick building, wit a similar hunger
Just using everybody elses weakness to build oneself stronger
Too smart for Biology so I left, too real for criminology so I stepped
Now I'm really f'ed
Who wanna be rockin' uptowns uptown wit kelly green uniform
In a concrete floor, tiny 4 by 4, smaller than a university dorm
Livin' in a hell hole, conversate like 'move it troll', me though?
Rather be in Kmart long johns, Carhartt Khaki Tims wit a white unitsole
Plastic floor tile, speaking no guile,
Can see garbage for miles, big piles, like pharmacy files
Why niggas think being REAL is all dirty money wit rap dreams landed?
Is it too uncool to mean-branded but clean-handed?
Let off steam when I rhyme still, rap fast like nitrous ill
Encouragin' cats to b real like cypress hill, however
Mennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Authenticity is limited but propz to the minority
Who make being REAL a full time priority!
